Yeah, I've been wondering. Qemu only exposes single-queue devices (virtio_blk)
so bugs in MQ can not trigger here I guess. Also "hardware" timing is much
different in VMs so race conditions may not trigger with the same frequency.
Also CPU assignment/scheduling may be different with respect to barriers, so
memory safety problems (RCU bugs, missing barriers) may behave differently.

I had no luck with vastly overcommitting vCPUs either.
